There shouldn't be any issue with leaving your server running all the time. There was an issue a while back where if you left a session logged in for days and days it might lock that session, but that shouldn't give you the error you are seeing there. While there is a lot to be said for buying a pre-built one I wouldn't go there yet. Here are a couple things to try. If you haven't powercycled the StartOS server definitely try that. If you set up SSH try to SSH in to the server even when the graphical access doesn't work. You might be able to learn more about the problem. Looking at the error it seems like the OS (and database) can't write to the file system. It could be a hardware / driver issue. In this case after SSH in to the server you could check the filesystem "fsck". If none of that works, ping me again and we'll dig deeper. Don't give up on it though!!!

Looks like your shopstr posting is for a #Steamdeck - which is a very cool game device- BUT it is not a #Streamdeck device (by elgato).
I'm not in the market for your device, but if anyone else is selling an actual stream deck - let me know :)
For those not familiar, StreamDeck is hardware that gives you a customizable set of keys you can use for complex actions (text replacement to macros to much more) to control your computer. Often used by streamers and gamers for fast access to complex actions. https://www.elgato.com/us/en/s/welcome-to-stream-deck

Getting started with start9 can be very easy. Buy the server from them, plug it in to Ethernet and power, a little bit of setup and it’s up and running. Then just add services like you would add apps to your phone.
You can also buy your own hardware and download the software - that’s more work, but very doable.
If you do need help, just ask….

Registration started at 9am, I tried for an hour - from 9:30 to 10:30 but PSIA had computer issues and I couldn't get the site to work to get registered. At 10:30, I gave up and called, but the event was already sold out. I'm on the wait list - and frustrated.

There are not just hundreds of different cryptos, there are tens of thousands.
As part of a course I did, I created my own crypto. Never did anything with it, but it was fun to do and share with people just how trivial it is to create one.
Up until a couple years ago I thought that there might be a number of different cryptos for different use cases / industries that might be successful each in their own niche. I still think it's possible that there might be a very few unique cryptos that hang in there, but Bitcoin is the big dog that is going to dominate. Trying to pick which crypto out of all of them may survive to be a player in some far edge case has no appeal to me. I agree with Odell's philosophy "Stay humble, stack sats"
Bitcoin will not exceed 21 million because there is a formula built into the core code that creates new bitcoin (mining rewards) for each block as it gets created. It started at 50 bitcoin a block and every 210,000 blocks (about 4 years) it drops in half, so 25, then 12.5, then 6.25 (where we are now) and in mid-April 2024 it will drop to 3.125. This continues with eventually the reward dropping below below 1 full bitcoin to some number of sats and continues dropping until the reward is only 1 sat and then 0 - no mining reward at all. That is expected to occur in 2140.
Is it possible for someone to change that core code? yes, that's called a fork and then there would be two cryptos, one with the original rules and one with the new set of rules. That's happened many times in the past and will likely continue to happen. BUT, if the new rules changed the 21 million limit, the fork with the new rules would never be accepted by the very large and dedicated bitcoin community as being bitcoin - it would become some new crypto variation.

Looks like you are connected to 19 relays, the global feed downloading everything everyone posted to all the relays can be quite the firehouse of information.
Eventually clients will start giving more filter options, but until then you will likely find yourself encountering all sorts of scam / crazy / porn / foreign language posts.
I like seeing the wide variety, I ignore almost all the posts, but occasionally find someone worth following that otherwise I would never have found!

2023-08-04 11:19:21 GMT

Exactly!!! You can get a “lightning address” that looks like an email address. Folks can send you bitcoin directly to that address. I like https://getalby.com. You can go there and “create account” to get started.
Often instead of a like, I’ll “zap” (send satoshis). Satoshis are like cents to dollars, a small part of a bitcoin.
Depending on where / how you live today it may be hard to pay your bills straight from bitcoin, but that is changing. Meanwhile, you can convert bitcoin to fiat (old style government issued money) via an exchange who takes bitcoin and give you US Dollars or euros.
There are many services that can help you but availability varies by what legal jurisdiction (country) you live in. I use https://strike.me amongst many others. I haven’t used but have heard good things about https://www.bitrefill.com

2023-08-04 02:40:22 GMT

NOSTR allows you to ‘self verify’ no need to get Elon’s permission for a blue check. If you control the internet domain you can get a verified address. I’m [email protected].
Different clients display your ‘verified address’ differently.
Lightning is way of sending bitcoin faster and cheaper.
Sats is short for Satoshis. It’s like cents in bitcoin. One US Dollar is equivalent to 100 cents. One Bitcoin is equivalent to 100 million Satoshis. Take a look at https://www.finder.com/satoshi-to-bitcoin-conversion-calculator
Notes is what gets posted on NOSTR. Like tweets on the service formerly known as Twitter.
Hope this helps!!!

So here is my first completed 3d print - a stamp holder in white.
The crappy case my stamps came with is in orange above. And the first stamped washer I did is on the right…

It's a stand to hold metal stamps - It finished this morning. I'll post a picture later today...

Oh no!!! Sounds like it was totaled!!! or is there a chance of repair?

Looks great. A 3d printed gutter cleaning attachment to a leaf blower, never would have thought of that. Looking forward to see more examples of what others do to inspire me for my next print.
And perhaps only because I'm very new at 3d printing but the one thing I have to ask - how long did it take to print that!!!

I recall in college taking a PE course that was called survival swimming.
I was told it was a holdover from WW2 to address too many servicemen drowning. The final included a jump from the high dive (to simulate jumping off the sinking ship), followed by an underwater swim (to simulate getting away from the burning oil on the surface surrounding the ship), and then swimming a number of laps and treading water for what seemed a crazy long time (to simulate waiting for the lifeboat to pick you up). We also had to use our pants for a makeshift life preserver. I'm sure there was more, but that's all I recall at the moment.
I think they finally retired that course from the mandatory list...

Thanks for posting your npub in twitter. I follow you there and while I am increasing my time spent on nostr (away from twitter), I hadn't connected with you here yet. Much better to nostr follow you !!!

My project backlog is already too large and now Start9

puts more VERY cool things in my queue. This one is so cool that it just may get bumped to the top of the list.
TLDR: SimpleX might be the most promising solution to simple, private, decentralized messaging yet!

Just read an Atlas Society email (Juneteenth related) that reminded me about their Frederick Douglass video - https://www.atlassociety.org/video/my-name-is-frederick-douglass#Video. Well worth a watch.

We have a wonderful time share in Cabo San Lucas. It is a gorgeous executive suite (sleeps 6 w/balcony ocean view) for the holiday week Dec 25 to Jan 1. Since we can't go this year, so we listed it as a rental.
If interested, please check out: https://www.redweek.com/posting/R1098258
Special NOSTR only offer - If you rent the unit and DM me here, I'll zap you a 4% Sats back after the rental completes...

Great to hear you are running Iris on your own Start9 server.
I've been doing that myself for a while now and love it - and my own private relay.
If you aren't running your own relay on your Start9 server, perhaps consider that too. It's a bit limited at the moment (need to either be local or access via TOR), but @npub126n…e9ll team is working on improved networking now.

I’m not a big car racing fan and much of your technical details go over my head, but I do enjoy your posts. Especially the pictures. Very cool cars - and great to learn just a bit more about them!! I love seeing all the non-bitcoin content here.

A number of the folks I know on nostr came here through The Survival Podcast. One of our community members - Jenni Hill is fighting cancer. Some folks put together a fundraiser. I'm donating, and I hope you will consider donating too:

It is technically possible to do a reverse TOR proxy (or something like that) to make #start9 clear net compatible. BUT it is not easy, not supported, etc.
The next major release is supposed to make it significantly easier to access #startos servers from #clearnet

Congratulations on getting your #start9 pages site working.
Except for having to open in m y TOR browser instead of just clicking the link it worked for me :) Lorem Ipsum is great.

Nostr can be a bit frustrating. There are not really any groups / channels implemented. And relays tend to be very general- not topic specific either.
The best I've found is to follow people that that are posting interesting content. Finding them can be a bit challenging.
I find new folks to follow when I see them on a post / comment / mention from someone I already follow. That works, but is somewhat slower way to grow the network.
I also search for hashtags of interest. #grownostr is a great one to use for a wider variety of posts, but you can try #business #woodworking and see what you get.
From time to time, I also scroll through the 'global' feed for topics and hash tags of interest.
Hope this helps you find more posts of interest to you!!!
